NUDES (REWRITING)

SECRET

Theo's P. O. V

"So Theo, Tell me how are you and Billie??? Have you guys fallen in love yet?" Thalia questioned as she obnoxiously slurped up her breakfast smoothie that she loved to drink every morning.

"No. We're just friends and why would I tell you anything that involves me and Billie? Aren't you guys like besties now??" I snapped, she was taken back by my snappy attitude at first, but brushed it off like it was nothing, she was used to it anyways.

"What did you do Theo?? You can't be out here ruining Tillie!" She snapped back at me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the mention of the ship name she had started to talk about mine and Billie's relationship, she had even gotten my mom on board with it and now it's all I hear about.

"I'm just not talking to her, okay. That's it, I didn't want to be a dick and be mean to her so I'm ignoring her. It's better for the both of us." Billie had been blowing up my phone with dumb dad jokes and apologies, which I didn't think she should be saying, she didn't do anything wrong I'm just a dick and hate the fact that she called me out.

"You need to just tell her that, she's like the most understanding person, Theo. Like she was able to look past the fact that you made out with Lucky." If looks could kill Thalia would be dead by now at the mention of Lucky. It was an honest mistake and I was cross faded which made it ten times worse.

"Fuck you. I have to go, tell mom I might be home late." I mentioned as I started to walk out the front door, wanting to escape the She devil that I got to call my sister.

"Tell her yourself, Assface!" She shouted in time before I could slam the door shut.

I usually would pick Ryan up before school, but we hadn't talked since we got in a fight. I thought I would feel more upset at the thought of fighting my best friend and not talking to him for more than a day, but I felt a sense of relief that I didn't have to listen to him talk about the three topics that he always talked about, girls, football, and himself.

Billie had made it more obvious and apparent to me that he was a scumbag, but it also made me realize that I wasn't any better than him.

I had gotten my car back from Donna's house yesterday night and it was awkward because she was still upset over the fact that I had rejected her the night before. She had even started to cry and that was my que to drive off with Thalia in tow who had been laughing her ass off.

I couldn't help but let my thoughts run loose as I began to drive to school. I usually had music on to distract me, but I wasn't even in the mood to listen to it. I didn't want to fuck things up with Billie, but I knew that my anger would always find a way to create problems around us and she's sensitive and I'm not.

We were just polar opposites and it was just strange being around her and not insulting her, which made me feel like more of an ass. I couldn't even be normal around her.

As I pulled into the student parking I instantly wanted to just leave. I didn't want to hear any questions about me and Billie today and what happened to me and Ryan at Donna's party, I didn't want to hear about Donna, I just wanted to be alone.

I parked as I found the farthest spot from the school and took a deep breath in before getting out and locking the car. My eyes soon found Billie's who was approaching me and me being the dumbass that I kept finding myself to be just avoided her and ignore everything that she tried to say to me.

"Theo! Hey Theo, sorry about earlier." Billie started to say but soon stopped as she realized I wasn't turning back around to talk or even acknowledge her. I didn't want to ignore her, but I did.

'You really turned me down so you can fuck around with Billie??? What does she have that I don't? STD's??'

I kept re-reading the text that Donna had sent me and tried my best to keep my anger in and not say anything to her as she sat on across the room from me in my third period class. Usually if I took deep breaths that would help, but I couldn't stop the clenching of my fist and grinding of my teeth.

I hit Donna's contact and blocked her number and deleted the message. I decided to turn my phone off, tired of receiving messages of people wondering what had happened this weekend, everyone was just so nosy and didn't know how to mind their own business.

I tried to focus on what my Economics teacher had been rambling on about, but I couldn't focus with everything that was running through my mind. I felt a since of relief as the bell rang signaling class was over. I quickly packed my books away and threw my bag over my shoulder before I rushed out of the classroom before anyone could stop me.

When I exited the class the hallways were much louder than usual and that's when I started to see the pictures and the words written on the wall and the name of the girl that just wouldn't leave my head had been the center of it all.

The pictures that scattered the floor were all of the same girl, she looked dead, but the most troubling thing was that you could tell that the guy was having a good time and so were the other guys that surround her, her clothes looked to be ripped, but everyone knew who it was.

Billie's secret was no longer a secret.
